Oregon - White Oak Savanna Nature Play Area

Only 30 minutes south of Portland lives an Outdoor Happiness Movement project! In West Linn, Oregon, the White Oak Savanna nature park will offer a nature play area! With design involvement from local children, this outdoor play area plans to give young visitors unique opportunities to explore their environment from their perspective. This new addition joins the existing picnic table, benches, trails, and information kiosk already available at the park.

The White Oak Savanna nature park was created in 2009 when The Trust for Public Land and local government and organizations collaborated to save 14 acres of the oak savanna from being developed. Instead of an office park, the White Oak Savanna nature park was born. For the past 7 years, volunteers have invested thousands of hours to restore, improve, and maintain this rare native habitat of white oaks.
